Towboat and barges after passing under the Clark Bridge near Alton, Illinois. Yes the boat actually pushes, but it's usually called a Towboat.

As a kid in East Texas my family didn't own a camera. During the Vietnam War I joined the Air Force. I was in new places, seeing new things, so I wanted pictures. I knew nothing about photography I thought you simply pushed the button and made a picture. I bought a very simple Kodak camera and started talking pictures. My real interest started when the pictures didn't seem to show what I wanted. I realized there was more to photography than just pointing the camera and pushing the shutter release. I started reading and learning. I bought a better camera, and then a better one. I did a little darkroom work when one was available. Photography was more difficult in those days and knowledge of photography was far less common than it is...
